Febuary Bella Art Project

This months Bell Art Design team project is to create using die cuts. From a hat, I drew an 8inch or so Accu Cut die cut flip flop, left and right. It's so cute. I immediately decided I want to create a mini album from this some how. I have 3 ideas in mind and have everything layed out to brain storm. How I am going to put it together is the most important part before I start to create. I could use rings, the bind it all, or simple tie it all together with that wonderful new orange teri cloth trim that screams summer. If I use the bind it all I was thinking of turning it into a guest book for the beach house, which I always wanted to make. The shape of it is so fun though, I think I will stick with it as a mini album. I am going to try and post my progress as I go along. I plan on using lots of stamps, paints inks and transparencies throughout. Now I need to go through my photos for a theme. Do I want to do a review of the years or one years photo's? Lots of decisions to make.... Happy Thursday and enjoy this nice weather while it lasts!

A Layout and some thoughts...

Would I have taken this photo and saved it if I wasn't a scrapbooker? Probably not. I love all my candid everyday photos. My sisters think I am crazy with my camera always with me and with how many photos I have of my kids, but I wouldn't have it any other way. I am grateful to have found the art of scrapbooking because I feel like It helps me appreciate and remember the everyday moments in life and the little things. Happy Tuesday

100th day of school

project is due soon.I have been hearing alot of my friends talk about doing this with their kids lately but don't ever recall having to do it with Danielle or Matthew. Low and behold, he came home with this project on Monday. He has to gather 100 of something little and bring it in. I immediately said that should be no problem with all of the Lego's you have and his eyes lit up. He said "Do you think I have enough Lego men to bring in?" I am not poor for nothing!!!! He did his homework so fast last night because he couldn't wait to get his guys all together. Each one had to have the right head, legs, body, hair, helmet/head. This was quite a feet and took us into the start of American Idol. Then he said to me I wish I could take them in all standing up. He cant wait to show his collection to his class. I am not so sure the teacher is going to be thrilled with his Lego man selection. I don't think it is quite what she had in mind. Oh well. Here is a quick layout I did last week. It is a lift from one of the new Magazine's I got in the mail. I am trying to get a class together but just not very inspired lately.
